Standing in for Mark Littlewood, Andrew Allison, Head of Campaigns of Popular Conservatism says that for too long British ministers have been tied up in quangos, recalcitrant civil servants and international treaties, preventing policies upon which they won power happening. That is why our mission is more important than ever: democracy can only be eroded so far before people rightly demand action.

After listening to Rachel Reeves' spending review on Wednesday, you could be forgiven for thinking that we are living in a land flowing with milk and honey; that tax receipts are pouring into HM Treasury and that the Government is so awash with cash that it doesn't know how to spend it. 

The truth, of course, is very much the opposite. HMRC estimates that in May 2025 there were 30.2 million payrolled employees in the UK, a 274K decline compared to May 2024 and a 109K decline compared to the previous month, April 2025. Millionaires are leaving the country in their droves. Business confidence is low. Despite Angela Rayner promising 1.5 million new homes, under Labour there are 40,000 fewer workers in construction than there were a year ago.

Rachel Reeves' claims that she has fixed the foundations of our economy; that she has removed the barriers to growth; that countries around the world are lining up to do business with Britain again are, in the words of Andrew Neil, "delusional drivel in a class of its own."

In this clip you will hear what my colleague, Mark Littlewood, had to say about the spending review. He rightly said that "we've got to have a serious discussion at some point that the numbers do not add up and we can't get taxes up ever higher to pay for this. We have got to get spending down. She [Reeves] was just talking about investment, investment, investment. It's not. It's spending, spending, spending."

This current Government has to be easily the worst in my lifetime, which is why, if the Conservative Party has a hope of getting into Government again, it has to get its act together quickly and adopt more clear, unambiguous Conservative positions so the electorate knows exactly where the party stands on major issues. 

That was the clear and unambiguous message Annunziata Rees-Mogg and I received from Conservative Party members in Nuneaton last night. And it is what Conservative Party members tell us on a daily basis. 

In our latest Opinion Panel survey, we asked your views on key positions the Conservative Party ought to adopt. You told us that it ought pledge to abolish or curtail swathes of unelected Quangos; that it should pledge to abandon net zero targets, to repeal of the Human Rights Act and leave the ECHR. 

Although most of our Opinion Panel members approve of the direction Kemi Badenoch is taking the Conservative Party, they want her to do it faster. They also don't want the Conservative Party to slug it out with Reform UK - they want a closer relationship to take the fight to Labour. 

I share your views and your frustrations. This Government has inflicted so much damage in under a year that it is frightening to think just how much it can inflict in another four years before the next general election. 

It is crucial that the next government has plans in place to deliver the results the public expects of them. For too long British ministers have been tied up in quangos, recalcitrant civil servants and international treaties, preventing policies upon which they won power happening. That is why our mission is more important than ever: democracy can only be eroded so far before people rightly demand action.

Keep fighting for freedom!
